Band history
Bohemian Groove Orchestra is founded in 2009 by Dutch adventurous jazzbarock keyboardist Stormvogel, joining forces with some of the most adventurous musicians and artists from the Dutch progjazz & worldfusion scene, mainly members, guests and friends of previous projects like Stormvogel’s Alter Ego Jazzbarock Consort, Onno Witte’s Wildcard and Jeroen Pek’s PitchWhiteStorm.

BGO Music
With its exceptional line up (including several electroacoustic multi-instrumentalists, two bass players, a realtime sample- and soundartist and a bagpiping vocalist), BGO immediately rose to the occasion at Festival de Muzen (Amersfoort Jazzfestival), performing new works composed by its leading members and guest soloists. A distinguishing characteristic is the “ecclectic method” used by its composers, processing musical elements from genres like jazz, jazzrock, avantgarde, vaudeville, worldfusion, indo-european traditional, medieval, barok, classical, a-tonal, concrete, vintage electronical and contemporary music.

Line UpThe vast members over the years are Stormvogel (keyboards), Wieke Aurora Garcia (percussion, vocals, bagpipes), Jeroen Pek (flute), Onno Witte (drums) and David de Marez Oyens (bass). This major line up is enriched by several guest players and artists.
